Italian days

We went down to that Italian shindig they have on Preston Street in Little Italy. Here are some things I saw.

A seagull

A couple of very sentimental angels

A drunk guy in a top hat embarrassing young women by dancing with them

I received an email regarding this picture. Here it is:

Some good shots there but you really should change one caption. The one about the “drunk guy” with the top hat. I know that guy. He’s not drunk. He’s old. Very old; mid 80′s. I don’t know his name but he’s commonly referred to as the “Dancing Man”. You’ll see him anywhere there’s music; especially outdoor festivals. And I recall him doing this when I was young in the late ’80′s. When I was working as a bartender at that time at a place that had Jazz on Sundays. He was always there dancing.

And I’ve seen him lately at the Laff and he doesn’t drink (that I saw). He just really likes to dance and he’s a sweet old guy and unless you know for a fact that he was falling down drunk, for accuracy sake – not to mention it’s rather slanderous – I’d suggest you change the caption.

Thanks,
Steve

An accordion player who probably didn’t want his picture taken, but he was too busy to object. (I can tell by the fishy stare)
